I am flummoxed by last Thursday's letter “Good Samaritans happen to be lesbians” from Preston
Eberlyn. I have been a good Samaritan and have received aid from good Samaritans. Never, ever has
the subject of one’s sexual preference been discussed or a factor in any way.

If I have a flat tire, my immediate concern is getting it fixed and going on my way. If a good
Samaritan takes time from his busy day to help me, he, too, wants to fix the tire and be on his
way. End of story.
